Ship It! #BOSTechWeek

A pop-up installation during Boston's inaugural Tech Week, Ship It! is a collaboration between AI practitioners, researchers and creative technologists that invites participants to:

Witness the gap between the world we want and the world AI seems to be creating.
Ponder the accountability structure of bots, their designers, and their users.
Speak your desires for the Age of Intelligence into existence.

Why We're Doing This

Tech/ish was built on a single observation: the most important conversations about AI are happening in two rooms that never talk to each other.

One room is full of builders and researchers making decisions that will shape how billions of people live.

The other is full of those billions of people, with no framework for engaging and no channel for making their preferences known.

Tech/ish believes AI will have better outcomes if more people work to bridge this gap.

And the people best positioned to make a difference are those building it.

Let's chat
